How Bracton Advisory Limited collects, uses and protects personal data.
This notice explains what personal data Bracton Advisory Limited (“Bracton Advisory”, “we”, “us”) collects through this website and when responding to enquiries, how we use it, and the rights you have. We have kept it deliberately short and plain.
Who we are
Bracton Advisory Limited is a company registered in England (company number 17237025), based in London and serving clients in the United Kingdom and the European Union. For the purposes of UK data protection law, we are the data controller for the personal data described in this notice.
Bracton Advisory Limited is registered with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, registration number [ICO registration number]. You can contact us about anything in this notice at hello@bractonadvisory.com.
The information we collect
This website is a single static page. It has no contact forms, no user accounts, and no sign-up or mailing list. The personal data we hold therefore comes from two limited sources:
- Enquiry correspondence. If you email us — for example, using the address in the contact section — we receive your name, your email address, and any information you choose to include in your message and in any exchange that follows.
- Technical data. Our website hosting provider automatically records standard server log information, such as IP addresses, browser type and access timestamps. This is generated for every visit and is used only to keep the site running and secure.
How we use it, and our lawful basis
We use personal data only for the following purposes:
- To respond to and manage your enquiry, and to provide the information or services you ask about. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interests in responding to people who contact us (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)); where your enquiry concerns a possible engagement, we also rely on taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b)).
- To operate, maintain and secure this website. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interests in running a safe and functioning website (Article 6(1)(f)).
We do not use personal data for advertising, profiling or automated decision-making, and we do not send marketing email.
Cookies and tracking
This website does not set cookies on your device, and it uses no analytics, advertising or visitor-tracking technology of any kind.
All fonts and other resources used by this site are served directly from our own domain. The site makes no requests to Google Fonts or any other third-party service, so no third party receives information about your visit through your use of this website.
As noted above, our hosting provider also keeps standard server logs. These are not cookies and are not used to track you across other websites.
Who we share information with
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it for anyone else’s marketing. We share personal data only with:
- Our service providers — in particular our website hosting provider and our email provider — who process data on our behalf, under contract, solely to provide those services to us.
- External solicitors or specialist advisers, where a matter genuinely requires formal legal advice or specialist input. This happens only where it is relevant to your enquiry, and you will be aware of it.
We may also disclose personal data where we are required to do so by law.
Storing information outside the UK
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognised under UK data protection law — such as a UK adequacy decision for the destination country, or UK-approved standard contractual clauses — so that your data remains protected.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry correspondence only for as long as we need it to deal with your enquiry and any engagement that results from it, together with a reasonable period afterwards for our business records, after which it is deleted. Server log data is retained for the limited period applied by our hosting provider. We do not keep personal data for longer than we need it.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
- ask us to correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete;
- ask us to delete your data, or to restrict how we use it;
- object to our processing of your data where we rely on legitimate interests;
- ask us to transfer your data to you or another provider, where that right applies.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@bractonadvisory.com. We will respond within one month, and there is normally no charge.
Complaints
If you have a concern about how we handle your personal data, please contact us first — we would welcome the chance to put things right. You also have the right to complain to the UK’s data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office, at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
